Ros Bowden: Trailblazer
I had hoped to write this book in conjunction with Ros, but Alzheimers is a cruel disease, and I have had to attempt this book alone. We have been lucky enough to share half-a-century of joyous married life before the fog descended on her formerly sharp brain and feisty personality. I hope our family, friends and a wider audience will enjoy this account of Ros' adventurous, well-lived life, and at least I will have the satisfaction of placing a copy of it in her hands even though she may not be able to fully comprehend it.
So begins Tim Bowden's memoir of his wife Ros, and their engagement with a changing Australia in the 1960s and 1970s, and her pioneering radio documentaries and books that looked at Aboriginal lives and the changing role of women on the land. Theirs was a life of mutual discovery and documentation that has touched many Australians through their work with the ABC.
